]]>Everyone who has ever smoked marijuana in a place that still considers possession a criminal offense has experienced anxiety and paranoia. It’s a common side effect when you’re doing something you could get in trouble for. On the other hand, people are using marijuana to relieve chronic anxiety and stress in places that it is legal to use and possess. For every story of anxiety attacks brought on by being too high, there are two stories about people who have received life-saving relief from chronic anxiety from marijuana.

Studies have actually shown that medical marijuana has anti-anxiety properties and can provide relief for people with several forms of anxiety including both chronic and sporadic as well as PTSD and social anxiety.

A lot of different things contribute to the effectiveness of medical marijuana for people with anxiety, too. Things like your tolerance level, your pre-existing conditions, the composition of the cannabis strain, and the things found in your environment. All of these can affect whether you feel panicked or anxious after smoking.

There are two sides to how medical marijuana affects our anxiety. Here we will look at evidence and explanations that explain what anxiety is and how it can either help your anxiety or hinder you.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety disorders affect over ⅓ of the US adult population for at least a period in their individual lives. Others live with chronic anxiety their whole lives.

Generally speaking, anxiety is like a bad feeling that doesn’t go away, no matter how logical your mind may be. It’s a feeling of worry or concern or general uneasiness which can be brought upon genetically through brain chemistry or can sporadically appear when awaiting a big event or a situation that isn’t certain. It can motivate you to study or get your work done, or it can warn you that a situation could potentially be dangerous.

Anxiety disorders that are caused by brain chemistry can affect people throughout their lives, and it can affect their personal relationships, work, and overall health.

Other anxiety disorders include things that are brought on by trauma, like post traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD), social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorders along with general forms of anxiety. Each and every specific case of anxiety is different and causes debilitating symptoms. All of these disorders can be caused by a number of things, including your personality, genetics, and your gender. Females are more likely to experience chronic anxiety.

Can Medical Marijuana Help?

It’s no secret the effects of cannabis on anxiety. No matter who you are, it helps relax your mind, calm your nerves, and help you come to terms with situations you can’t do anything about. It helps you to stop worrying about the things that cause anxiety and to realize that in most situations, it is what it is. Katt Williams probably put it best when he said “there is a chemical in weed called “F*** it” and if you can just get that in your system it can change your life”.

A vast percentage of the medical marijuana cardholders in Colorado are recommended for marijuana to find relief from their anxiety. Many of the people who have been using it for a long time will happily tell you that it reduces anxiety and the side effects of stress relief and relaxation are beneficial as well. But the good news is that science is starting to understand why it might be a highly effective treatment for anxiety disorders. Along with the anecdotal pieces of evidence, there is plenty of concrete scientific evidence that backs up what many users claim to experience.

The first evidence of medical marijuana being used to treat anxiety was described in text by a Portuguese doctor by the name of Garcia de Orta in 1563. In this text, he described that marijuana could help people suffering from anxiety avoid “all worries and care”. Hundreds of years of practice isn’t wrong. We know that medical marijuana provides relaxing, calming and even hypnotic effects.

In 2014 a study was conducted at Vanderbilt University that came to the conclusion that smoking cannabis can increase the levels of chemicals in our brains called endocannabinoids, which are often too low in the cases of people with chronic stress, anxiety, and depression. Low levels of endocannabinoids are typically the cause of most mental disorders, but almost all anxiety disorders.

It’s also a safer and more effective alternative to prescription anxiety meds that can cause several other problems, including suicidal thoughts and tendencies.

Recently, the Canadians performed a study that found that 40% of people using prescription medical marijuana for anxiety and pain were able to completely stop using benzodiazepines altogether, which are commonly prescribed anti-anxiety drugs that are highly addictive.

Studies have also show that cannabis is an effective treatment for PTSD. Cannabis can help you forget things that have caused trauma in people who have survived rapes, witnessed violent crimes, or go to war. Experts believe that it can help sufferers forget bad memories and experiences altogether. Since it was added to the list of qualifying conditions in many of the medical states, veteran suicide rates have been on the decline, since most prescription PTSD medicines had one fatal side effect: suicidal thoughts.

Can Medical Marijuana Cause Anxiety?

As a short answer, no. Medical marijuana cannot cause clinical anxiety, but it can cause short term anxiety or paranoia in large doses. The best thing about marijuana is that once you’re done being high, you’re completely back to normal. You can’t get permanent anxiety from smoking cannabis.

However, you can get anxiety when you first get high. Short-term anxiety or paranoia can be caused when you’re a new smoker, you’re in a stressful or unfamiliar environment, or you just smoke too much because you didn’t take your tolerance level into consideration.

A study from Oxford University found that injecting a low dose of THC directly into the bloodstream of healthy adults who had previously used cannabis led to paranoia and anxious thoughts in 20% of the study’s participants. However, the negative and anxious affects went away as soon as the THC left the bloodstream.

Medical Marijuana use and anxiety have a complicated relationship that is still mostly unclear as far as long-term effects go. Science is still debating whether or not the increased anxiety in cannabis users is a result of using cannabis or if people with anxiety use it to medicate their pre-existing conditions.

Overall, many people have experienced anxiety from smoking marijuana at least once, but it’s still an effective treatment for chronic anxiety disorders because of the way it reacts with our endocannabinoid releases.

]]>In a state where it seems like medical marijuana is on the decline to make room for recreational marijuana, lots of people ask us why we choose to stay in business as a medical-only facility. The truth is that cannabis is medicine, and while we don’t disagree with recreational use, we do believe in helping patients that truly need medical marijuana with products only medical stores can provide. Here are the three main reasons we stick to medical marijuana in an industry that is pushing for recreational to outshine the medical industry.

1. Cannabis is Medicine.

The major argument is that the medical benefits of marijuana are simply exaggerated by people who just want to use it because it’s fun. The truth is, in fact, the opposite!

Marijuana has been used as medicine for thousands of years, with the earliest records coming from ancient Chinese and Indian medical books which described the cannabis plant as an herbal medicine with many uses. Some of the uses described in these texts were for pain management and arthritis, which represents the most common conditions that doctors recommend marijuana for today.

Recent surveys have also shown that most doctors do truly believe that marijuana has a place in medicine.

On our side of things in this day and age, we have seen a variety of patients. Caregivers who are picking up CBD oils for their children with epilepsy, women going through chemotherapy for breast cancer, people with Parkinson’s and even people with Multiple Sclerosis. There have been several success stories that we’ve heard directly from patients about using medical marijuana to help them eat or help them sleep, and people who are using it to treat PTSD and to get off prescription opioids.

Thousands of years of medical use can’t be wrong. We find it fulfilling and exciting to help people who need medicine and treat it as medicine instead of a vice.

2. The Medical Community is Alive and Well

There are shops everywhere! Whether they’re medical or recreational, the industry isn’t a disaster because some of us are simply one or the other. As a medical shop, we can sell cannabis to patients under the age of 21 which allows us to help even more people who need it. Without medical only facilities, a lot of patients wouldn’t have access to the specialized edibles, tinctures, or salves made with CBD that they need for an affordable price. For us, medical marijuana should be affordable, potent, and available.

3. Medical Products Are Top of the Line

At a medical marijuana dispensary, everything is medical grade and made to be potent and effective. All medical flowers have to be completely compliant and safe for patients, so all of our stuff comes from premium medical cannabis grow facilities. We are also supplied with edibles that are a higher dosage than what you are allowed to purchase at a rec shop. Medical shops are also supplied with pure hash oils and the finest quality concentrates, all with lab tested results. Our prices are also a lot more affordable than your average Denver recreational shop because we are medical only.

There’s one more major reason: we are within 1000 feet of a school, and therefore in order to sell recreational marijuana we would need to move. However, because of the above reasons, we choose to stay put.

Overall, our goal isn’t to make money. It’s to provide our patients with the best quality of care and medicines available to them, and we feel like we are making a bigger difference the way we are. We are a team of very passionate individuals who aspire to make a difference in the lives of people who see this plant as the little miracle that it is, and to continue making the world a better, healthier place through the power of cannabis.

SUMMARY: The King of California is the Mob Boss strain, a sativa-dominant hybrid cross between Tang Tang and Chemdawg D. Released in 2009 by Grindhouse Medical Seeds, this strain earned its reputation by hitting users incredibly hard. This potent strain is best known for its heavy resin production along with its intense high which is masked by a sweet, floral aroma. Some versions of the mob boss strain lean more towards the sativa side and deliver a jolt of cerebral psychoactivity, but most fall into the category of a light and clear headed mind buzz. Mob Boss is most often used by medical patients seeking relief of muscle tension, mood elevation, and appetite stimulation.

LONG DESCRIPTION

Mob Boss is a balanced hybrid strain with potent genetics that are just as powerful Frank Costello or Al Capone but nowhere near as intimidating. This sativa dominant hybrid strain is a cross between Chemdawg D and Tang Tang created in 2009 by Grindhouse Medical Seeds. With an average THC content falling between 15 and 20%, this strain comes with a somewhat different cerebral high that causes a variety of effects from person to person.

The best Mob Boss flowers are small to medium in size and have a tapered or cone-like shape. When properly cured, these buds are packed tightly and very dense. In color, Mob Boss has light green leaves tightly coiled on themselves with bright red pistils, or hairs, which are threaded throughout the flowers. Mob Boss flowers are also always covered in trichomes, thanks to the astounding parentage resulting in higher resin production. The trichomes cause these flowers to look very sticky and moist. As a result of this resin, Mob Boss is a very difficult strain to break without the use of a quality grinder.

Mob Boss flowers mask their potent effects behind a very sweet citrus or floral smell as well as an herbal or piney smell beneath. When you break the flowers or smoke them, they give off a sort of earthy musk odor.

The smell and taste is there, but Mob Boss flowers are rather harsh. Its terpene profile causes it to sting the eyes and the sinuses, but the exhale makes it worth it. Before the coughing fit you’ll notice a light impression of sweet and sour flavors that make your mouth water. These flavors also tend to linger on the tongue.

Mob Boss is best known for its ability to grab users quickly. The high begins as a comfortable head buzz that creeps into an intensification of the senses. If you’re smoking or vaporizing Mob Boss, you may find yourself hearing things louder than they are or seeing things like colors more clearly. After the initial adjustment period, many users agree that the cerebral effects of mob boss are excellent for situations that call for problem solving or creative thinking. On the other hand, the sensory overload can feel a bit like a mild psychedelic and can cause sensations like visual distortions. If you’re smoking mob boss at home ir in a relaxed setting, you will find that you feel a slight body buzz that brings on relaxation without the couchlock.

Applied medically, Mob Boss benefits the body both physically and mentally. It has the ability to elevate moods and shows promise for the treatment of those suffering from depression, stress, anxiety, and even PTSD. People with ADD/ADHD may also find Mob Boss useful because it offers increased and sustained concentration in many users. On the other hand, Mob Boss offers several effects similar to indicas, such as treating moderate aches and pains, stimulating appetites, and as an effective treatment for insomnia in larger doses.

Mob Boss can be grown from a seed or as a clone from a reputable grower with clippings from healthy, mature plants. Mob Boss does great indoors or outdoors, but outdoor grows require a Mediterranean climate with constant humidity and daytime temperatures in the low to mid 70s. As a sativa dominant hybrid, Mob Boss grows taller like most sativas and will require the grower to train the plant to a maximum of 4 feet as long as they start training in the vegetative stage.

Mob Boss is also the type of plant with a great leaf to bud ratio, meaning that growers will not need to spend hours trimming these plants like they would with other strains. You can expect a Mob Boss plant to begin her flowering cycle between 9 and 10 weeks when grown indoors and will be ready to harvest in October when grown outdoors. You can also expect a fair yield of anywhere between 1 and 1.5 ounces per square foot of plant. Make sure you cure properly to preserve the potency and unique flavor of this powerful strain.

Overall, Mob Boss is a unique strain with a bold high that is just as enjoyable at home by yourself with a video game as it is out with friends. This versatile strain can enhance activities both during the day and at night, and is an ideal hybrid blend of mental and physical benefits that serve as a creative stimulant, an exercise aid, and even as an aphrodisiac.

]]>We cannot deny the benefits of cannabis as a medicine, even though the FDA hasn’t officially approved it as such. You can, however, find medicines that contain cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds found in cannabis that are responsible for the medical prowess it displays. Every day, new research is produced to reveal medical marijuana benefits so that the negative stigma attached to medical marijuana declines. It’s safe, effective, popular, and legalization is on the rise. Here’s the skinny on 7 of the best health benefits of medical marijuana. Keep in mind that like everything we put into our bodies, medical marijuana has side effects including memory loss. The benefits far outweigh the risks, though.

1. It Improves Your Metabolism and Helps You Lose Weight

After studying the effect of cannabis on people with diabetes, high body fat, and people who regularly smoke cannabis, we’ve learned that medical marijuana can actually regulate the way our body produces insulin. It also helps the body to manage the calories you take in daily more effectively. It actually boosts your metabolism and helps you break down calories faster than non-smokers. This is why the average shows that people who smoke cannabis regularly are slimmer on average than people who don’t smoke at all.

2. It Fights, Regulates, and Prevents Several Diseases

Medical marijuana has a ton of medical benefits that come into play when introduced to people with several forms of debilitating conditions. We know for sure that medical marijuana fights Glaucoma and gets epileptic seizures under control or stops them altogether. Medical marijuana has neuroprotective properties and has actually been shown to prevent protein build ups on our neuro receptors, which effectively prevents Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also well known for preventing certain cancers from developing or killing tumors and cancer cells before they become a serious problem. People with Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis can find pain relief by using medical marijuana. It’s also sought out for reducing the harsh side effects of Hepatitis C and of Chemotherapy. It helps people with eating disorders to eat and to feel better about their physical being at a subconscious level. Other research has shown that medical marijuana may actually be the cure we’ve been looking for inflammatory bowel diseases which never go away and are only resolved through life-long treatment. There is a ton of research being conducted in the present that dives deeper into the inner workings of cannabinoids found in cannabis and our bodies. All we know for sure is that people who are in need of relief are getting it with this alternative medicine.

With all of these benefits, you might wonder why medical marijuana isn’t legalized in every state from sea to shining sea. If you take into consideration that our biggest businesses are the pharmaceutical companies, you can see why it’s being lobbied against by people with billions of dollars. If a plant that grows out of the dirt can cure diseases that can only be cured with their expensive medicines right now, these businesses will dissolve. The people have control though, and in a matter of years, people everywhere will have access to medical marijuana.

3. It Treats Addictions

Recent Studies have shown that medical marijuana, specifically strains high in CBD, can actually treat addictions and prevent relapses in people with opioid dependencies. Most drugs play in the reward systems of the brain, specifically our serotonin receptors. CBD interacts with the same serotonin system and can block the effects of addictive substances on reward-seeking and pleasure behaviors. This makes medical marijuana and CBD oils a good alternative for helping you quit your vices.

4. It Helps You Kick Anxiety and Depression

Depression is a lot more than feeling sad once in awhile. It’s a feeling of hopelessness, anxiety, anger, frustration, and so much more and is often caused by prolonged stress or a chemical imbalance. Luckily, we have cannabis. We all know that cannabis has a way of making us feel uplifted and happy when we smoke it, and the reason is scientific. Studies have shown that when smoking cannabis the cannabinoids that are received by your body indirectly stimulate other receptors to produce what we call endocannabinoids, which are basically our body’s version of cannabinoids. For example, CBD stimulates the release of Anandamide. Anandamide is naturally produced human THC, also known as the “bliss molecule”. It keeps your brain functioning regularly and regulates our pleasure sensors and reward centers, effectively uplifting our spirits and helping us out of depression without using prescription drugs that often have harsh side effects and can take weeks to begin working.

5. It Helps You Stay Focused and Be Creative

Medical marijuana has become a popular choice for adults with Attention Deficit Disorder because despite what the stigma says, certain strains actually help you to focus on work, strategy games, subjects that are difficult to grasp, and so much more. A good sativa strain is all it takes most of the time to feel uplifted, focused, and creative because of the way the cannabinoids in cannabis react with our brains. Despite popular belief, marijuana doesn’t kill your brain cells either, it actually heals and protects them, leading scientists to believe that it actually makes you smarter. Similarly, cannabis affects our creativity. Studies have shown that the hemisphere of our brain responsible for creativity, open-mindedness and social behaviors is stimulated by cannabis. That doesn’t mean you’ll be able to do things you couldn’t previously do, like painting or sewing, but it does open your mind to new possibilities to think creatively.

6. It Eases the Effects of PTSD

Recently, PTSD was found to be a suitable condition to treat with medical marijuana after veterans fought for treatment in front of the White House. While this is big news and a major step towards marijuana reform, science also backs medical marijuana on the subject of PTSD. A study published in the journal of Neuropsychopharmacology found that synthetic cannabinoids still changed parts of the brain that store traumatic memories in rats. This prevented the behavioral and physiological symptoms of PTSD. A different study also showed that people who smoked cannabis casually or regularly experienced a 75% reduction in the common symptoms of PTSD. 20 Veterans commit suicide every day due to the effects of PTSD or the prescription drugs that all have one harsh side effect: suicidal tendencies. This big push brings us home for the future and hope for the expansion of medical marijuana programs.

7. It Cleans Up the Mess Left By Tobacco In Your Lungs

The biggest fear of all doctors prescribing medical marijuana is the fact that you have to smoke it. Many doctors are unaware of the potential side effects of medical marijuana, but resin build up is one of them. However, a study published in 2012, for the most part, disproved this idea. The study showed that cannabis smokers actually had a larger lung capacity than the control group and the cigarette smoking group. The results also showed that if you quit smoking, medical marijuana can eliminate the side effects of long-term smoking (as well as the addiction aspect!). Over 5000 subjects were included. Overall it showed that people who smoke cigarettes weaken their lungs over time while cannabis smokers actually get an increase in lung capacity.

Overall, cannabis is used for a variety of things that all benefit the body in its own way. We know that medical marijuana has a ton of properties that are good for our bodies, including our bones and muscles as well as the way our brain sends messages to the rest of our body systems. What’s not to love though? A million benefits and a few potential side effects are a lot better than a prescription medication with one benefit and several harsh side effects. We are made from the earth. Our medicine should be too.

]]>MEDICAL BENEFITS: Stress relief, general pain, depression and anxietyFLAVOR: Sweet, Blueberry, FruityEFFECTS: Uplifted, happy, euphoricNEGATIVES: Dry mouth and eyes, thirst
A west coast legend originating in California, Blue Dream finds itself gaining major popularity on the west coast and in Colorado. Nicknamed the Bayer of Cannabis, Blue Dream is known for its uncanny ability to alleviate a variety of minor physical aches and pains as well as headaches and migraines. This Sativa dominant hybrid comes with a tart berry flavor as well as a fruity blueberry aroma that provides unmatched relaxation and pain relief in a matter of seconds after the inhale, AND a clear-headed and euphoric cerebral effect.

Long Description:
Many years ago in California, an unknown cannabis cultivator decided to cross a Blueberry Indica plant with a Sativa known as Haze. This combination created a marijuana strain people had never seen before, better known as Blue Dream. The offspring plants of this cross caused a Sativa dominant hybrid strain that came with the clear headedness of a Sativa high, along with the relaxing body effects of an Indica strain. While the precise origin of this strain is still shrouded in mystery, we believe it to have been originated in Northern California on the coast near Santa Cruz.

From humble beginnings, this strain earned legendary status across the country in what seemed like just a few days. It’s a fan favorite both medically and recreationally and is by far the favorite strain of people in Washington State. It offers a variety of medical benefits because it comes with several beneficial effects that consist of the best properties of Sativa strains and the best properties of Indica strains. It allows people to go through their day pain-free, so it’s a great choice for everyone. Because of this popularity, you can find Blue Dream in just about every dispensary in the country.

This strain also blends full body relaxation and a gentle cerebral effect in perfect harmony, which makes it a good first-time smoke as well as a nice choice for veteran smokers alike. You can expect a Blue Dream high to start out as a relaxing body buzz that eases you into a pleasant clear-headed euphoria that isn’t too intense.

Blue Dream also smells like a sweet blueberry, which is fitting due to its Blueberry Indica parentage. It offers very quick pain relief, but won’t cause any couch lock or an uncomfortable sedated feeling like many other Indica strains. If you’re a patient who suffers from depression, nausea, or chronic pain and you need medicine during the day without feeling sleepy, Blue Dream is great for you.

Blue Dream also offers a clear mental state along with contentedness and a feeling of general happiness since it is a Sativa-dominant hybrid. This cerebral effect is mostly sought out for the way it can treat depression by making you feel happy and uplifted. You will also experience a very relaxing body high that can treat nausea, headaches and migraines, muscle aches and pains, and many other physical problems that require a high dose of THC due to its Indica parentage. Keep in mind though that Blue Dream can cause a dry mouth and dry eyes, so make sure to keep fluids handy and stay hydrated.

If you’re interested in growing a Blue Dream seed or clone, you’ll find that the best way to grow it is with good old fashioned soil. When you grow these plants properly, they will smell sweet and fruity and taste the same. These plants take root really fast and sprout quickly. Blue Dream is also favored by growers because it produces massive yields. The vegetative stage will last the longest at 50-65 days and will speed up when it flowers. Like many sativas, Blue Dream will grow tall instead of out, but her branches will become heavily laden with potent purple or blue flowers. These dense popcorn nugs are covered in orange hairs. The plants can be cut down and harvested between 8 and 9 weeks.

Not all Blue Dream plants are created equally, though. It is the most counterfeit strain in the world, and because of this, it can sometimes grow like an indica plant, taste differently, and look and smell differently.

Overall, Blue Dream is a very well balanced strain if you can find proper Blue Dream. It comes with a relaxing body high and a clear, euphoric head high. It contains the best properties of both indicas and sativas, and is a very popular choice for medical marijuana patients who need pain relief and good vibes. If you have never tried Blue Dream, come on in and give one of our two crosses a try: Triangle x Blue Dream, and Girl Scout Cookie x Blue Dream. They are both always excellent if you want to try something new.

]]>In the United States, more than 37 million Americans suffer from migraines. These numbers include about 13% of the entire adult population, and 2 to 3 million Americans out of this total suffer from chronic migraines instead of occasional ones. However, new studies are showing a promising new treatment for these migraines by using medical marijuana.

People have been utilizing the medical power of the cannabis plant for thousands of years, but only in the most recent years have we discovered the reasoning behind medical marijuana for cannabis. A recent study published last year from Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado took a deeper look into the effects of cannabis on migraines by studying the way our bodies metabolize cannabis via inhalation or ingestion in people who suffer from migraines. The results of this study actually confirmed what years of holistic knowledge and previous baseline studies had only begun to unlock.

The goal of this study was to create a clinical trial that proves the effects of medical marijuana on patients with migraine headaches since at the time there were no scientifically backed clinical trials available. Cannabinoids have the potential to affect serotonin in the central nervous system, which could possibly show that medical marijuana could be a therapeutic alternative to traditional anti-migraine medicines. The main objective of the study was to diagnose and describe the effects of medical marijuana on the frequency of migraine headaches in patients with chronic migraines that would cause one migraine per month.

The researchers took a look at reports from over 120 american adults and were able to identify a few very important points.

The biggest tangible discovery was that the number of migraines per month when using medical marijuana dropped significantly. At the beginning, patients were experiencing an average of 10.6 migraines per month collectively. With the use of medical marijuana to treat these migraines, the number of migraines dropped to an average of 4.6.

40% of the test subjects, or a total of 48, reported that medical marijuana had positive effects on their lives during the trial and helped with their migraines.

20% of the subjects, or a total of 24, claimed that medical marijuana helped prevent migraines altogether. These 24 patients went from regular migraines to almost 0 migraines.

12% of the subjects, or a total of 14, reported that medical marijuana stopped migraine headaches as they began feeling the symptoms of an oncoming migraine headache, which is a feat that almost nothing else can achieve.

85% of the subjects, or a total of 102, reported that they experienced fewer migraines per month while they used medical marijuana.

12% of the subjects, or a total of 14, reported that they saw no change in the frequency of the migraines they had when using medical marijuana versus doing nothing differently.

2% of these subjects, or a total of 2, also believed that they had more migraines during the trial while using medical marijuana than when they did nothing differently.

It’s also noteworthy that the subjects who inhaled cannabis were able to receive the fastest effects which helped to stop migraine headaches in their tracks. Just like recreational use, edible cannabis takes much longer to metabolize in the body and takes much longer to provide relief. It was also more likely than a quick smoke to cause negative side effects like sleepiness, and overly intense euphoria which 11.6%, or a total of 14, of participants reported. Smoking allows the cannabinoids a much quicker route to your brain and to your endocannabinoid receptors, which helps people suffering from migraines stop a migraine before it starts. Edibles take about a half hour to take effect, and by then, you’re already feeling the full force of a migraine.

Previous studies also tried to figure out why medical marijuana tends to help migraines by citing endocannabinoid deficiencies and the activation of our CB2 receptors as potential explanations. While this study didn’t answer any of those specific questions, it did add valuable information to the growing pool of research surrounding the potential of medical marijuana as a possible migraine medication since over 85% of the subjects experienced a tangible reduction in how often they actually had migraines.

As more and more information is unearthed on cannabinoids, our next biggest field of research is going to be about which cannabinoids, delivery methods, and cannabis strains are the most effective for treating a variety of ailments, including of course headaches and migraines.

As of now, the best strains to help manage migraine pain or prevent migraines are as follows:

Girl Scout Cookies

Sour Diesel

Harlequin

Lemon OG Kush

Candyland

White Widow

OG Kush

And Blue Dream

Most of these strains can be found on our shelves at any given time. If you suffer from migraines or headaches, be sure to talk with your budtender. They’ll be able to provide you with the best medicine to help you feel better.

]]>In the more recent years it isn’t uncommon for most of our medical research to have been conducted to find more and more uses for the cannabis plant. In recent months, substantial evidence has been found to show that cannabis may be a promising treatment option for a variety of health conditions, including physical ailments and mental conditions from PTSD all the way to chronic pain. A study released recently also suggest that medical marijuana can treat depression along with many other mental health problems. Thanks to our research on cannabis, cannabinoids, and the endocannabinoid system, we now understand exactly how marijuana treats mental health problems. Here’s everything we know so far.

What is Depression?

Depression is a disorder in the brain typically caused by chemical imbalances or rapid changes in brain chemistry. Sometimes the brain doesn’t produce the right levels of serotonin, and in other cases, it has trouble producing dopamine at all, which is the chemical responsible for activating our pleasure receptors and allowing us to feel happy and content. Other research tells us that other factors can be involved in depression, including genetics, constant stress or anxiety, grief, difficult life circumstances, medical conditions, and changes in your hormone levels.

Depression is typically characterized by a persistently depressed mood and usually includes a rapid loss of interest in activities you normally would enjoy. It causes a significant impairment in daily life.

The most important thing to remember: Depression is a serious mental health condition and cannot be self-diagnosed. It’s a lot more than feeling down once in awhile, and it must be diagnosed and treated as seriously as anything physical.

The Endocannabinoid System

The biggest part of understanding how cannabis affects your body is understanding the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is made up of two major parts, which are the “agonists” and the “cannabinoid receptors”. Both parts work together to create homeostasis in the body, or for lack of a better word, regulated balance.

Agonists are cannabinoids like Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) or some 80 others that are found inside the trichomes of cannabis flowers. These agonists bond to neuroreceptors in your brain called cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are mostly concentrated in the central nervous system while others are found in each and every one of your organs, like your heart, liver, skin, and digestive tract.

Think of your cannabinoid receptors as locks and agonists as keys. Each agonist affects a different part of your body in a different way. When you use cannabis you take in the keys that interact with the locks in your body. The cell receptors make up your ECS.

Your endocannabinoid system is like a network of cell receptor proteins that all have different functions and do different jobs in different parts of your body. The ECS is considered the greatest neurotransmitter in your body, since it takes part in just about everything that happens in your body, including:

Memory

Sleep

Bone Development

Immune system function

Motor control

Mood

Pain

Reproduction

Appetite

The four key jobs of the ECS include stress recovery, homeostatic regulation (which allows your body to be balanced), neuroprotection, and immune balance.

Cannabis and Depression

The Neuroscientists at the University of Buffalo’s Research Institute on Addictions have found that endocannabinoids may be effective for treating depression that is caused by chronic anxiety or stress. Endocannabinoids are chemical compounds found in your brain that activate the same neuroreceptors in your nervous system as THC, which is the compound in cannabis that is responsible for getting you high.

When studying modified lab rats, the researchers found that chronic stress slowed down the production of endocannabinoids which are responsible for affecting our emotions, cognition and behavior. These endocannabinoids are also linked to reduced feelings of anxiousness and pain, appetite stimulation, and overall feelings of well being and contentedness. As we mentioned, our bodies naturally produce these chemicals which are very similar to the chemical compounds found in cannabis. When your endocannabinoid production is reduced, you can develop depression.

The researchers then administered a cannabinoid called CBD into the rats and found it to be effective in restoring the endocannabinoid levels in their brains, which alleviated signs of depression in the rats, such as hyperactivity.

“Using compounds derived from cannabis — marijuana — to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression,” lead researcher Dr. Samir Haj-Dahmane said in a university press release.

More recent research has been conducted on cannabis and its effect on the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which ultimately solidified the factual information in the research conducted by the neuroscientists in Buffalo since both of these mental disorders involve how the brain can respond to stress. For example, a study published in the Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology found that compounds that act as synthetic cannabinoids still triggered changes in parts of the brain that store traumatic memories in rats, which ultimately prevented the behavioral and physiological symptoms of PTSD. A different study also showed that people who smoked cannabis casually or regularly experienced a major reduction in PTSD symptoms, upwards of 75%.

Cannabis, Depression, and your Neuroreceptors

The scientific evidence that shows cannabis as an effective treatment for depression is found by studying the ECS and your neuroreceptors. By taking a look at which specific brain receptors are affected and which cannabinoids are affecting which receptors, we can determine the changes in chemistry that effectively treat depression. CBD does so much more than simply engaging your cannabinoid receptors. It affects everything from your brain chemistry to your toenails. Specifically, it affects 3 major receptors, all of which directly relate to anxiety and depression.

Adenosine receptors (helps your sleep/wake cycle stay regular)

Serotonin receptors (helps with mood and stress management)

Vanilloid receptors (affect the way we feel pain, and how much it affects us)

Another noteworthy mention is CBD and Anandamide is a naturally occurring endocannabinoid produced by your body that is similar in structure and in effects to THC, which is found in cannabis. Anandamide is naturally produced human THC, also known as the “bliss molecule”. It keeps your brain functioning regularly and regulates our pleasure sensors and reward centers. It also helps with our appetite, ovulation or sperm production, memory, pain, and sleep.

When these levels get too low or fluctuate due to a variety of things, CBD can be supplemented to help produce this chemical and keep your body functioning properly.

On preclinical trials with lab mice, studies suggested that CBD blocks acids that break down anandamide, which is essentially what prescription depression medications do without the adverse side effects.

Overall, thousands of people are using cannabis as an alternative to more mild forms of depression and finding plenty of relief. Further study is still needed to determine if there are any adverse side effects or additional benefits. In the meantime, all we can do is advocate for cannabis research and test theories for ourselves. Do you currently use cannabis for depression? We’d love to hear your story.

Not to mention that getting your medical cannabis with a medical marijuana card has many benefits over purchasing recreational products. See our blog on that here.

Obtaining your medical marijuana card is a simple process. If you are a legal Colorado resident with one or more qualifying conditions for medical marijuana, getting your card is simply a matter of going through the motions. Even better, starting in January 2017, you can do all of this online! You’ll be able to print your own cards, fill out forms, change your information, remain confidential, and access many other features.

The first thing you’ll be required to have is the medical need. The current qualifying conditions are cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, cachexia, persistent muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea, and severe pain.

If you have a condition other than what’s listed above, then your particular ailment needs to cause one of the above. If you still don’t qualify, you or your doctor can petition to have your condition added to the list. However, the list has not been added to since 2001.

3 Easy Ways to Get Your Medical Marijuana Recommendation.

Talk to your regular physician.

When you have a medical need for cannabis, you’ll most likely have been already working with a physician. They will know you and your condition best. Most states with legal laws around medical marijuana protect physicians who recommend cannabis to their patients. This allows you comfort and confidence when asking them if medical marijuana might work best for you.

The most important thing to remember, as with all medicines, is that you find the right one. You want to ease as much of your suffering as possible, with the least amount of unwanted side effects. Starting with your personal doctor is a great option for keeping continuity of care with someone you already trust.

If your doctor isn’t willing to recommend cannabis, or doesn’t have the knowledge to direct you most effectively, they can sometimes offer a referral to physician who can.

Pro tip! *Bringing relevant research on the the benefits of medical marijuana on your particular condition can often be helpful to your physician.

Go to a medical marijuana clinic.

Sometimes physicians wish to specialize in medical marijuana because of the benefits they see for their patients, or for advocacy of the medicine in general. Often these specializing physicians have a better skill-set to know which strain, what transport method, and what dose to most effectively treat your malady. These clinics however, can have a long wait times to get an appointment. They can also be well worth it.

Pro tip! *You can always make an appointment with a clinic as a very first step. While you’re waiting the weeks for your consultation, you can explore your other options and cancel the appointment if you end up not needing it.

There are a few services now that offer very low cost fees, or even annual memberships, completely online. Some services have you fill out some forms and then do a phone consultation while still offering the standard patient-doctor confidentiality and following all HIPPA laws. While in-person can offer more specific advantages to a doctor knowing their patient, the benefits to not having to drive anywhere and often, paying a reduced fee, has obvious merit.

Pro tip! *Make sure you have your Colorado issued state ID before your doctor visit because you won’t be able to get your medical marijuana card until then. Having one before the other can add significant wait time to access your medicine.

Fill Out Your Application

Once you have your medical marijuana recommendation you can fill out the applicationfrom the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE). Often, in clinics or online, you can fill out your application at the same time. The fees were reduced in 2016 and are now just $15. Also remember, starting in January 2017 you’ll be able to apply online.

Pro tip! *If you are reading this before online capabilities at the CDPHE, or you are choosing to send in the hard copy, know that you need to send it by certified mail. Once you have your receipt for sending, just bring a copy of your doctor’s recommendation along with your ID and some cash. With this proof on hand you are legally allowed to make medical marijuana purchases up to 35 days prior to receiving your card.

Get Your Card, Keep Your Card

Once you have your card, it’s more flimsy than you might expect. It is a printed piece of cardstock that you are not allowed to laminate or alter in anyway, so don’t. The CDPHE advises that you keep your card in a paper (not plastic) sleeve for protection. You can get replacement cards through the site if the printing wears off, or it’s lost/stolen. Here’s a look at a sample card:

Pro tip! * As you are required to renew your card on a yearly basis, you are allowed to send in your paperwork up to 60 days from the time of expiration. Definitely take advantage of this as wait times have been reported as long as 6 months! Although just a couple of months is most common.

]]>Are you wanting to improve your quality of life with medical marijuana?

Are you new to the medical cannabis landscape?

Do you have a ton of questions and don’t even know where to start?

We’re going to help you.

We’d like to assist all those who already know they could benefit from medical marijuana as well as educate those who aren’t sure. It isn’t right for everyone and everything, but it is right for many, and more than people usually realize.

Let’s start with some statistics* to help you understand that you aren’t alone.

There are close to 101,000 active medical marijuana patients in Colorado. There are almost 343,000 new patients since the Medical Marijuana Registry began.

Jefferson County alone accounted for more almost 11 percent of medical marijuana patients in all of Colorado for 2016.

Medical marijuana patients are of every age from zero to 71 and older. The combined average age of all patients is 44 years old.

Patients are roughly split down the middle for sex, with almost 43 percent males, and about 46 percent females.

The top reported condition for those under 17 is seizures. The top reported condition for all those 18 and over is severe pain.

You can see that tens of thousands of people of all walks of life are already being helped by the healing qualities of medical cannabis.

So here’s how to get medical marijuana…

STEP ONE: Have a qualifying medical condition.

You need to either have one of the below listed conditions or have a “debilitating medical condition” that causes one of the following conditions. Other conditions may be noted on other websites, but the list below is directly from the Colorado Department of Health & Environment and it hasn’t been added to since 2001, (although you or a physician can petition to have a condition added).

Cancer

Glaucoma

HIV or AIDS

Cachexia

Persistent muscle spasms

Seizures

Severe nausea

Severe pain

STEP TWO: Get a medical marijuana recommendation from a physician.

There are plenty of places that you can get an evaluation, but keep in mind a few things. Firstly, most of these places have considerable wait times to get an appointment because they are quite popular. Second, you may wish to do some research and shop around for the best physician for your particular condition. There’s a world of difference between just knowing how to get a medical marijuana card and finding the right specialist that knows the best way to treat your ailment.

You will need to fill out an application either at the consultation or beforehand, have it notarized, and pay the $15 fee by check or money order to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. On this form you have the option of designating a caregiver. This is situational and entirely up to you. You can also add one later.

You will also need to send your application via certified mail.

Important! There’s also the wonderful news that the state will have online applications available starting in January, 2017 which will make this process far less tedious.

For more information on getting your medical marijuana card, see our blog here.

STEP THREE: Get your medical marijuana.

There are many different strains, varieties, dosages, and transport methods for your medical marijuana. Working with your doctor along with trial and error is often the route taken. There are topicals, edibles, smokables, waxes, resins, drinks, and more. Some affect you longer, and each transport method will affect you differently. Working with your doctor on the minutia of how each one makes you feel and relieves your symptoms, is the fastest and best way to get the relief you are looking for.

For some patients, growing their own plants is the right option, for others it’s buying from a well-established, and reputable dispensary, or a combination thereof. If a patient does best in one of the alternative methods of transport, usually a dispensary is the best option.

That’s it!

You’re now well on your way to getting your medical marijuana! Like any medical condition, it is best dealt with in a partnership with you and your physician. Finding the right strains/amount/transport for your relief should get you ever closer to alleviating your medical symptoms and improve your quality of life.

]]>The benefits of medical marijuana are many. The medical uses for marijuana are even more. The access to medical marijuana and a medical marijuana card is an easy and worthwhile process. The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) are even putting their entire application process online as we speak, making it more convenient than ever.

But why would you chose to go through any additional steps to purchase medical marijuana? Insert image of cannabis in a prescription bottle spread over plate in same folder.

You can simply walk into a dispensary and purchase the same kinds of cannabis recreationally, without the hassle of a prescription. You don’t have to pay money for a card. You don’t have to consult with a doctor. You don’t have to annually renew your medical marijuana card.

There are 2 main reasons, one far more important than the other…

Efficacy

Money

Efficacy: Marijuana is first a medicine

Consider two scenarios:

One: that you have diagnosed physical malady that could be made better by the benefits of medical marijuana.

For instance, you have one of the Colorado qualifying conditions: cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, cachexia, persistent muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea, severe pain, or a condition that causes one of these.

Two: that you may be self-medicatingwith recreational cannabis.

Self-medication occurs when a person uses a substance for therapeutic benefits, without the supervision and/or consultation from a physician.

Many people who are self-medicating are unaware that they’re doing so. Even more importantly, self-medication, aware or not, is oftentimes tied to an underlying medical issue. In these cases, it may be harder to detect ailments like depression or insomnia. These users perceive their use as recreational, but they are in-effect, self-treating a medical issue.

Self-medication has obvious problems. For one, there could be concurrent conditions, or one malady exacerbating another, neither with appropriate medical identification. In addition, without proper differential diagnosis, rule-out’s, physical and/or psychological examination, the accuracy and specificity of the issues may go completely off the mark. One could even do damage by delaying the prevention of appropriate treatment of their medical condition.

*It can be argued that anyone using cannabis on an even semi-regular basis, should consider a consultation with a physician to help identify any potential untreated medical/psychological issues.

Problems with Tolerance

Medical users are patients suffering from debilitating conditions wishing to improve their quality of life. As cannabis is true medicine, it needs to be taken regularly and one of the considerations of the medical marijuana facts, is that tolerance can be built up quickly.

What does that mean?

It means that medical marijuana users will quickly need higher doses of their medication to achieve the same level results.

Medical marijuana users are allowed about twice the amount of cannabis in their possession over their recreational counterparts. Those with a medical marijuana card are allowed 2 ounces of flower, or its equivalent, in edibles or concentrates.

Appropriate Medical Supervision/Consultation

When you’re treating a medical condition you shouldn’t go it alone. It is by far more effective, legitimate, and helpful, to have the support of a physician monitoring your care, including your medication.

Perhaps your ailment would be better treated with a different form of medical marijuana or transport method. You may not fully understand all of the benefits of medical marijuana and an appropriate, knowledgeable doctor, can help you get as much alleviation of your condition as possible. This is what you want and need—as much healing as possible.

As above for self-medication, there can be serious ramifications when you choose, or don’t know that you even are, treating your own medical conditions. Remember, that this is about your quality of life. Support your body and heal what ails you, as much as possible. Get the care you deserve.

Money

Finances are listed secondary to efficacy, because having the right medicine for your condition is most important. That doesn’t mean, however, that money isn’t a deciding factor of purchases for many people, if not most, cannabis users.

You may enjoy the relative convenience of avoiding an appointment with a care provider, and getting your medical marijuana card, but the overall cost of your medicine quickly rises to a hefty sum.

Both medical marijuana and recreational cannabis are both subject to a 2.9 percent state sales tax as well as local sales tax. This local sales tax varies widely from 3-10 percent and obviously can make it worth your while to shop around.

Retail marijuana also includes a 15 percent excess tax that is added into the price of the product.

This huge disparity in cost is great enough to prohibit many from getting the medical coverage they need.

Age

A short mention of age is given here to note that one must be 21 years of age or older to access recreational cannabis. Patients younger than that, can still receive their needed medical marijuana when they have their medical marijuana card.

Sadly, some young people do suffer from the one or more of the qualifying conditions. This especially vulnerable group can often more greatly benefit from the more gentle form of healing that medical marijuana offers. Medical marijuana for this population can be veritable life-saver for them as well as for the families caring for them.

Choosing medical marijuana over recreational cannabis is the right choice for many.
